You’ve Got 20 Minutes Today: Here’s What To Read

First off, Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out in GP land. We love and appreciate you every day; today is simply a bonus.

This week we published a heaping handful of slightly longer reads that are all more than worth your time. In between your alarm going off and the trip to see Mom — or the phone call you’re need to make very soon — these are the stories you’ll want to stop and read. From outrageous American supercars to the unfortunate “Greenwashing” trend that’s sweeping the country. Learn about Omega’s vintage masterpieces and the sad loss of one of aviation’s finest. We love rolling through news and cool gear as much as you love consuming it at a super fast pace. But some stories require a few more minutes, and the rewards are tenfold. Enjoy. – Nick Caruso
